Historical background and application

The US GPW 1/4 ton 4x4 is one of the most recognizable off-road vehicles of the 20th century, mass produced for the US Army during World War II (1941–1945). Commonly referred to as the “Jeep”, this vehicle was a symbol of mobility and reliability on all fronts. It was widely used by Allied forces in Europe, Africa, and Asia for personnel transport, communications, reconnaissance, and evacuation of the wounded. In the presented version with the 10-CWT trailer and airborne crew, the model recreates the equipment of airborne units used, among others, during operations such as Overlord (the Normandy landings) or Market Garden.
